One of the brightest men that ever at
tended Harvard College was Sumner Paine
sen of Heary w. Paine, a leading lawyer
of Boston. Paine always led his class at
the college, as he had done before at the
Boston Latin school, without study or ef-
fort. 1t was during the war. snd just be-
fore the battle OF Gettysburg, that one OF
the professors Of ihe college, who was
much disliked by the students by reason Of
his arrogant manner. was about 10 be mar
ried. Tue evening Of the wedding Paine
headed a band OF students who, just as
tue professor was about to 20 to the house
of the bride to be married, locked him in
his room and prevented hi N from being on
hand at the appointed time, in consequence
OF which the wed ding ceremony was post
poued. Through window the professor rec
ognlzed Paine among his tormentors. and the
next day preferred charges against him.
The faculty was 10th to discipline Paine, as
they admired the young man and his ability,
and partook Of the students' dislike for the
pr,fe ,ser. It was necessary for the pres
ervstion Of discipline that some notice
should be taken OF the matter, and much
against their wishes they expelled Paine,
with the understanding that when he apollo
gized he could be reiustated. Paine keeuly
felt his disgrace. He at once went to Gov
ernor Andrew, who gave him . commission
in q regiment at the front Of Getty sburg.

Adding these figures to the aggregate popula
tion of the fifteen counties organized since the
apportionment of 1885, makes u total of 51.212
inhabitants living in eighteen counties, who
will, practically, have no vote in the next House
OF Representatives.
If, however, these eighteen counties were
added to the eighty-seven that are assigned
Representatives under the present apportion-
ment, 1O5 of the 125 Representatives. to which
the House is limited. would be absorbed, lcav-
ing only twenty to be distributed, on the basis
Of population, among the more populous coun-
ties. The result OF this would be that fully
thirty counties, each having less than 5000 in
habitants and aggregate population,
shown by the census Of March l, 1885,. of only
I01 ,5O5, would have an aggregate of thirty Rep
resentatives; while twenty-five counties, hav-
ing an aggregate population of 5SS, 537. would be
reduced to one Rep, preventative each. and six
other counties. having an aggregate population
of 239, ,9f3, would be reduced to two Representa-
tives each. In other words thirty countless
having an aggregate population of only l07, ,3o5,
would have thirty votes in the House, one for
every 3,576 inhabitants, while thirty-one other
counties, having an aggregate population of,
81, ,4sO would have only thirty seven votes, one.
for every 2.3l0 inhabitants.
1t must be apparent, in view OF these facts,
that no apportionment that can be made under
the provisions of our present constitution,
would correct the inequalities of representation,
you deplore. and 1t is equally apparent that IL
new appOrtionment could be made this winter,
based on the census of 1877, these inequalities
would only be made more conspicuous and OBJ
noxioCs.
You may. OF course. urge that the Legislature
could submit to the people for ratification such
amendments to the constitution would in
suse Just appOrt,Onnent in 1891. But such.
amendments might have been submitted dur
ing the session of 1856, when the question OF
apportIOnment was under consideration or dur
ing the session of 1881. The defects and ine-
qualities Of our present system were just as ap
parent then they are now. Indeed, they have
been universally acknowledged during the past
six or eight years, and yet successive sessions
of the Legislature have taken no steps to cor
rect them. What assurance, then, could be af-
forded that the Legislature, IL convened in ex-
ira session this winter, would adopt any meas
ures for correcting these conceded inequali.
ties?
The fact is that Kansas has outgrown its or.
ganic law, and that it's different parts can not.
be made to fit the great State of the present.
1t may be true, as you urge. that many Of ous
laws need revision. This argument might be-
made in support OF a demand for extra ses-
sion of the Legislature 1T any time. can not
believe. however. it would justify an extra ses.-
sion of the Legislature this winter.
Yours very respectfully

At Bay.

This is the end, then, Of striving; this Il
what comes of II all:
Darkness and foes just behind one; before,
an impossible wall.
What does IL matter how stanchly one may
have battled for truth.
When with his weapons all broken he sit,
by the grave of his YOUTH
What did it profit in past years that one did
the hest that he knew.
When in the gloom of the present virtue
herself seems untrue?
Why should one fight any longer when
nothing remains but defeat?
Surely such labor were useless and idle the
stirring of feet.
All! but the soul that is faithful knows it Ii
good TO have fought;
Knows il is good to have acted. whatever
the doing has brought.
This is tie crown of the conflict, this the
reward of all strife
Faith in ones self aud ones motives, no
matter how darl Q ned the life.
Flesh may be bruised and defeated. but
spirit is never dispraced;
Spirit is always triumphant, whatever sharp
pain it has faced.
Here, at the en- of my conflict counsel
not ct with despair,
Though to nil seeming my struggles are his
who but beateth the air.
Darkness and foes aro about me. yet stand
with my ba TX t. thu wall,
Facing whatever Fat, sends me, and facing
Fate thus shall fail!
Oscar Fay Adams.
